TIlO quoBtion rosolvos itsolt simply into ono of oconomy. In the lowor and middlo portions of tho Stato whoro timber is scarco, it is obvious that a law compelling tho enclosure of stock would bo a groat benefit, ospooially to tho poor man. The riob man will generally tako care of himself, and is ablo to do so. Without a fonoo law all the virgin forest and oven that which is not virgin, will soon have boon cut down. It will soon bocomo a necessity within our Stato; (or our timbered lands aro fast disappearing : ,iAM 1 r cii _ 11 - i 111 uiuui iu kuuji iij> ioncos. .T)iinn wo wait till nocohsity drives us to the fotico law?

In Pickens thoro does not'at present cxlcf i hn mi irm nnr?nftoihr fm? oiw?U o Invr as in oilier portions of llio Sin to, yot wo think alio, too, would bo ovontually groatly l??ncfitted in many ways. We aro awaro that a groat deal can bound is said, in opposition. Every important question tonding to tho amelioration of mankind has over met with bitter opposition. Morso's telegraphic schomo had its violont opposers; Fulton had his, and Columbus his. Nevertheless right prevailed finally. On this subject of a fence law, if all tho arguments for and against bo carefully and dinpfiRBionately weighed in tho balances of ovory clour and unprojudicod mind, tho dos cision will bo favorablo to a foncc law. Tho Ban nor says: "Tho poor man who is unablo to buy timbor to mako rails to protcct his crop is absolutoly at tho morcy of his neighbors' oattlo. Tho rich farm era who liavo largo landod ostatos can gonorally protoet tlioir crop, but tho poor man with a small track finds it impoegiblo to build loncos. As tho law now stands it discriminates as gainst tho poor. Thousands of a ores of land in Abbovillo county now lie idlo and non productivo for tho want of timber to truard tho cron luminal c? I" 'O tho depreciation of stock. Tho poor of tins county should demand that thoir rich neighbors bo responsible for tho crops which their stock destroy. Nothing paralyzes tho onergj* and spirits of tho farmer more th^n to' havo his ciops destroyed by droves ofj hungry cultlc. Many froodmon of this oountyv who hnvc rcntod lands and plowed and hood in tho sunshine and rain havo soon their crops destroyed for wnnt of feneos."
